The day we've all been waiting for is finally here. Happy 11/11/11! I plan on taking a picture of a clock when it's 11:11:11 today. I might be going to an 11 party too. What are you doing to celebrate this holiday?

Nothing special, just the usual. It's not a holiday, just a neat anomaly on the calendar.

Party like it's 11/11/11 at 11:11:11. Which you could do twice today unless you are on military time.

It is National Metal Day according to VH1 Classic. In the USA it is Veteran's Day, which I assume is similar to Armistice Day.

| Actually, no.
On 666 I worked on projects for three different firms and made a PDF for marketing a vacant suite. To be honest, I don't remember that off the top of my head, I just looked at my job log. I don't actually recall placing any significance on the date though I suppose I might have.

I didn't know that. So, let's see. Two occurrences of 11/11/11 11:11:11 Polish Independence, Armistice Day, Veteran's Day, and let's not forget Nigel...
I don't know what you get when you put all of those together. Anyone???

You didn't have to know that. You don't live in Poland.
